The Central Coast has been hit hard. We are the lucky ones in Long jetty having not yet lost power. The wind and rain has been relentless, certainly unlike anything I have experienced. It was scary. The first night I did not sleep a wink. Last night I had to through sheer tiredness. When I awoke it was silent. The wind and rain had passed.

What a mess. The yard is flooded but I am dry. My neighbour had a trampoline blown onto their roof! My place wasn’t too bad apart from the gazebo torn to shreds and yard flooded.

It is still showering on and off, however I popped out in my gumboots to see how my jetty had faired. The pictures say it all!

Hmmm…maybe that boat shed isn’t such a good idea for a coffee shop after all!
